On the other hand there are those in society that would settle for nothing less than de Grood being locked up forever. Even then their thirst for revenge would not be satisfied.

And I could accept "some" freedoms, but he's fighting for an absolute discharge and I have a big problem with that.
from this article.

Matthew de Grood has applied to the Alberta Court of Appeal for an absolute discharge.
According to the Government of Canada, that means the court would find him discharged of the offences with no conviction registered.
"Conditional or absolute discharges may only be ordered for less serious offences," the justice department said.
If granted, the discharge would have no conditions.
this is bull#### and no way in hell a sick person who killed 5 people who could very well relapse (and has), should get a freaking discharge.
